SKYY Vodka Cocktails!

As most of you would know (if you follow me on Instagram), I love a good cocktail! 

With Spring in the air, and in celebration of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, New York, MBFW's official sponsor SKYY Vodka has released a collection of cocktails to celebrate the Spring 2013 collections and trends. This MBFW fashion insiders will be treated to four signature SKYY cocktails:  Classic, Romantic, Glam, and Progressive.  From the Bohemian Classic, embodying a clean, modern aesthetic, to the Futuristic Fashionista, an avant-garde cocktail inspired by the progressiveness of fashion’s most daring designers, each signature SKYY cocktail represents a crucial aspect of the fashion landscape.

I just figure, if I can't be at MBFW enjoying the cocktails and fashion, I may as well pretend that I'm there and enjoy one of these bad boys! 

Classic: Bohemian Classic – A lighthearted twist on the timeless daiquiri, the Bohemian Classic repurposes this favorite cocktail with a hint of apple juice. Mixed with lemon juice, simple syrup and muddled raspberries the Bohemian Classic is served up in a martini glass, making it the quintessential accessory for fashion week aficionados.
